Opus Community Music School

Opus Community Music School is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching our community by providing the highest quality, affordable music lessons to students of every age, ability and background.

The Opus Community Music School is celebrating more than ten years of teaching excellence in Carroll County. We are proud to be locally owned, and especially proud to feature the highest quality of music instruction. Through community support, we are able to offer music instruction to students of every age, ability and background.

Founded in 2007 as the "Carroll County String Project" by retired violin and viola teacher Margaret Motter Ward, Opus was designed to address several perceived challenges:

1) The shortage of qualified teachers for private study of string instruments2) The lack of a facility to train string teachers3) The lack of specific string instruction in the public schools where most instrumental music teachers were players of band instruments4) The inability of Carroll County string students to compare favorably with string students from other counties in Maryland.

Our students attend festivals nationwide and have won numerous scholarships and awards. Our new Eldersburg location is giving us even greater access to students where they are, and providing music lessons to residents of the south Carroll and Freedom area without needing to travel to Howard County, Peabody or Westminster.
